So I had a good 10 min earlier at the X1 kiosk with the Forza 5 demo........and well, I was very impressed. The biggest improvements I would say are the car models and the controller.

The new controller is significantly better than the current one. It just feels a lot more responsive overall, and the rumble feature on the triggers works great. At one point, in that Laguna Seca track, one of my front wheels spun out and was peeling on the asphalt, and this was very well translated through the trigger vibration... it was as if there was a wheel spinning behind the trigger, if that makes sense.

The car models are vastly improved and the damage modeling looked great, with the tiniest detail registering. I liked the music that was playing, similar to the F4 menu music.

The environment didn't seem to have received as much of a graphical boost, but it looked great nonetheless, and I didn't really have too much time with the game anyways. The only other bad thing I noticed was that once in a while, there was a minor split-second hickup in the framerate. Considering this was a demo, I'm not too worried about that, and it was only 1 track so I didn't get to see a lot of the game. Looking forward to this.

Looking forward to it as well.

Forza never disappoints and I doubt the next one will either. Probably the only reason im getting a x1 after new years.

Indeed! I recently bought Forza 4 for the 360 and have fallen in love. I can't wait for Forza 5. I have the limited edition preordered for launch day.
